Johnny Depp Producing The Secret World TV Show
The Secret World - the supernatural MMO universe created by Conan: Exiles developer Funcom - is coming to TV.
As reported by Deadline, Infinitum Nihil - the production company founded by Johnny Depp - is partnering with Gudrun Giddings of G4C Innovation to produce a television series based on the MMO, which was recently relaunched in a new free-to-play flavour as Secret World Legends.
The Secret World takes place in a version of present-day Earth with a heavy emphasis on myths, horror and the supernatural; players find themselves cast in the role of supernatural heroes aligned to one of three organisations - Templars, Illuminati and the Dragon - and join the fight against a variety of dark monsters threatening humankind, whilst also navigating the rivalry between the three factions.
Witness the Avengers B.C. Assemble for the First Time
Marvel Comics is preparing to relaunch its publishing line in an effort to bring everything back to basics, emphasizing its most classic heroes and the history of the Marvel Universe. To kick off this Marvel Legacy initiative, writer Jason Aaron and artist Esad Ribic will be teaming up for a 50-page comic titled Marvel Legacy #1 that features the introduction of the Avengers from 1,000,000 BC and begins a story that will affect the entire Marvel line going forward.
Recently, the roster of this prehistoric Avengers team was revealed, including Odin, the Sorcerer Supreme, Iron Fist, Ghost Rider, Black Panther, Starbrand, and Phoenix. We hopped on the phone with Aaron to learn more about how they came up with this team, Ghost Rider’s jaw-dropping new (old?) ride, and just what causes these Avengers to assemble. We also ask if last year’s DC Universe: Rebirth #1 had any impact on him as he was writing Marvel Legacy #1.
5 Things to Know Before Reading Dark Nights: Metal
DC is gearing up for one of their most ambitious Batman stories ever in Dark Nights: metal. This mini-series reunites Batman's New 52 creative team for a rollicking new adventure that introduces a realm known as "The Dark Multiverse" and pits Batman and the Justice League against an army of evil Batmen. It's a book that promises to reshape the DCU while also telling a very crazy, over-the-top story about good and evil clashing on a massive scale.
If you're not up to date on DC's current comic book universe, fear not. Here are the six things you should no before diving into Dark Nights: Metal #1 this week.
One of the big selling points with Dark Nights: Metal is that it's reuniting the full creative team behind DC's New 52 Batman comic, including writer Scott Snyder, artist Greg Capullo, inker Jonathan Glapion and colorist FCO Plascencia. Snyder himself has remained involved with the Batman franchise during the transition from the New 52 to the current DC Rebirth status quo thanks to All-Star Batman, but this will be the first time he and Capullo have worked together since Batman #50 in early 2016.
